The lights, aillights, linkers, ack up lights, orn, indshield wipers, eater blower motor, actory tachometer and gauges work. The Town & Country radio doesn't come on. The headliner in the hardtop is beautiful.
This is a matching numbers motor. It has never been out of the car. It is remarkably powerful. The 3 speed transmission shifts nicely and the optional overdrive works well.
